blocked wheels?

just another race this evening, started at the end of the grid. i did some slightly modifications on the setup but during the race i wasn’t really happy with it. due some touches in the first laps my nose wasn’t really like it should be so i lost a lot of top speed. the ai was often not really sure how to drive and so i was very aggressive. after a spin due the kick of an opponent i was really like a volcano. in only one lap i passed 15 opponents and after my stop i finished the race in lap 10 with more than one minute ahead. my best lap was not below 9 minutes so i was quite surprised about the low performance of the opponents. i did some more testing with the brake settings because i always face the problem that the wheels of the elise are blocking without getting back to rotating. so the car is sliding more than 50 meters with blocked wheels even if the brake is fully released. ok, it will take a short moment until the wheel is fully accelerated due the inertia but not 50 meters. i never experienced this problem with other cars and after some reading in forums i found that this is some kind of bug, based on the compination of self decalibrating pedals (logitech) and the low weight of the elise. this is really unpleasand because i really want to drive without low abs but it seems impossible for the elise. ok, it is still possible to lock the wheels with low abs and the brake distance is still longer than without abs (rotating wheels) so it is not as easy as it sounds. but real gt cars do not have abs.
